I thought for sure with my massive intake of fresh fruit and carbs, lack of workout posts on Instagram and new wardrobe consisting only of flowy blouses, that everyone knew what was going on.

It’s been craziness around here you guys. New position at work. Book will be in stores this week. Super hormonal and nauseated all. day. long. But we are so happy and so excited!

Okay so here’s the story. The plan was to start trying in April. This way I could be preggers for 9 months, take my maternity leave and make it back to work in time for the 2016 presidential election. Yes really. Everything revolves around politics when you work in DC.

Listening to this while I write and I thought it made a good soundtrack for this post.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve updated the bloggy. Probably not the best time for radio silence considering my book comes out in about 2.5 weeks but I’ve been so crazy busy. I moved into a new position at work and I really had to keep my focus there. But …

We did take a few days off for 4th of July in the Outer Banks and I wanted to tell you about it.

Have you ever had a blackberry that’s been floating around in frozen lemonade? Sooooooo good. I was dropping more berries in my drink just so they could soak up more lemonade flavor and coldness (does that make sense?) and I could eat them.

Also, did you see “The Good Girl” with Jennifer Aniston? That’s what I think of when I eat blackberries.
